What is a Wapuu?<\/h1>\n

The official mascot of WordCamp. Local variations encouraged. It can also be\u00a0turned into an amigurumi (3D crocheted animal).<\/span><\/p>\n

At the 2009 Tokyo WordCamp after party (you have to watch out for those after parties!), Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic, challenged the Japanese participants for ideas to help spread the WordPress brand. They came up with Wapuu, a friendly little character holding a giant WordPress ball representing the WP enfolded world.<\/p>\n

The idea took off and there are now many versions of Wapuu; each identified with a WordPress event or group.<\/p>\n

Wapuu for WordCamp Toronto<\/h3>\n

Design a Wapuu to tell the world about Toronto. We are the city within a park. We have the CN Tower, City Hall and Skydome. (Quirky fact: The original \u00a0name for the Roger’s Centre was chosen by us – the people of Toronto. That name is\u00a0Skydome Skybowl; representing the dome both closed and open.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Wapuu can be hugging a building. Dress it however you want. You can even make it stand up.<\/p>\n
